Shrimp Recipes — By gulfscapes magazine on May 13, 2008 at 6:53 am

This recipe is best when using large shrimp. Shrimp are classed by size depending on how many shrimp it takes to make a pound. Here are the size categories:

Shrimp per pound:

10 shrimp or less = Colossal
11 to 15 = Jumbo
16 to 20 = Extra-large
21 to 30 = Large
31 to 35 = Medium
36 to 45 = Small

 

12 slices bacon
12 shrimp, peeled and deveined
1 bell pepper, sliced  into 12 long, thin strips

Cook bacon until almost done. Don’t overcook; bacon must be limp so it can be wrapped around shrimp.  Secure one strip of pepper to shrimp by wrapping with bacon and securing with wooden toothpick. Grill over medium heat for 2 minutes per side. Feeds two.
